Question

What are some cool things to look at under a microscope?

Answer 1

Hair is very interesting

Pond water - as previously mentioned

If you can get a hold of bacteria, pseudomonas are very, very fast

Get some sort of gem, like a diamond

Koolaid and water mixed

About the pond water, try mixing it with some sort of nutritious solution and you might see them crowding aroudn the nutrition :)

The coolest thing for me is mixing one blood type with another that are incompatible to eachother. You see the crystallization.

Also, blood (with the white blood cells) mixed with pond water is cool because (if the white blood cells are alive) you can see the bacteria and leukocytes fight

Answer 2
